Eagles star Wilfried Zaha hopes to return against Liverpool on March 31

One said: "Rest up mate." And another supporter wrote: "Get well soon Wilf - enjoy the Dubai weather!"

Manager Roy Hodgson will certainly hope the former England Under-21 star returns fresh and confident as he has earmarked Zaha as one of the keys to Palace staying up.

Hodgson was relieved to escape the January transfer window without losing the one-time Manchester United flop, who has been monitored by Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City

And earlier this season Hodgson said: "I would expect one day that if Wilf continues as he is doing at the moment, then the club will be faced with a situation where someone wants to put a lot of money on the table in order to prise him away.

“That will be a massive decision for the club because I know how much Crystal Palace fans and owners appreciate him and he is the last person we want to lose."

Zaha hurt his knee in a 1-1 home draw with fellow strugglers Newcastle on February 4, yet played the whole match.
